Those queries take milli-seconds, and not probably causing the delay. Must
be something else. If you have network drive shortcuts in your Desktop,

Here is some more info after running RegMon:

These are what I thought was pertinent after double clicking a Word Document
icon

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.doc\Progid
NOT FOUND

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.doc\Application
NOT FOUND

I hope this additional info sheds some light. ProgID not found kind of
indicates why there may be a delay
